"What's wrong with you is that you yell and drink five times a day." Du Yuemei scolded, "Bring me a cup of tea."
Yang Xi hesitated for a moment and poured a cup of tea.
Just when she was about to bring it to her mother, she noticed a bulging envelope buried under the teapot.
She opened it doubtfully, and her eyes suddenly lit up when she saw a wad of banknotes inside.
"Wow~" Yang Xi jumped up happily.
"Uncle and aunt have known for a long time." Xiang Nan explained with a smile.
"I can finally buy a new bicycle." Yang Xi cheered.
Her silly and happy look made both Du Yuemei and Yang Weiguo laugh.
…
"Okay, take your time before you're happy, let's eat first." Du Yuemei greeted again, "Li Yu also made braised pork for you, he really spoils you~"
"Hehe." Yang Xi smiled proudly, then sat down to eat.
"Hey, Master Li, you're really good at cooking." She said in surprise after taking a bite of the braised pork.
This braised pork is fat but not greasy, the meat is rich in flavor and melts in your mouth. It is better than before.
"I tried a new recipe. If it's delicious, I'll eat a few more pieces." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"Of course, I won't have any left." Yang Xi nodded and said.
"Look at the way you eat~" Yang Weiguo said with a smile, "By the way, your Uncle Li called back yesterday and said that he had prepared the same birthday gift for you and Li Yu..."
"I promised in advance that I will never spend this birthday with Master Li~" Yang Xi said carelessly.
Hearing what she said, Yang Weiguo and Du Yuemei looked at Xiang Nan worriedly.
They knew that Li Yu was a very thoughtful and sensitive kid. What Yang Xi said made it easy for the child to think too much.
In the play, Li Yu was really shocked when he heard what she said. He went back to his home without even eating.
But Xiang Nan is not Li Yu. He has no obsession with Yang Xi, and he doesn't care whether they want to celebrate his birthday together.
So he just smiled and added a piece of braised pork to Yang Xi, "If you want to have two birthdays, don't you just want to eat an extra birthday cake. I don't want it, I'll give it all to you."
Yang Xi smiled stupidly and nodded.
"Hey, you kid is really spoiled." Du Yuemei shook her head.
Compared to the sensible Xiang Nan, my daughter is like a silly elder sister.
…
After eating, Xiang Nan helped wash the pots and dishes. After cleaning up, he returned upstairs.
"Li Yu, remember to lock the doors and windows before going to bed at night." Du Yuemei reminded.
"I understand, Auntie." Xiang Nan nodded.
After returning home, he began to think about his future path.
He is not too worried about his relationship with Huang Chengcheng.
Huang Chengcheng's wishful thinking towards him was unswerving, so it wasn't too difficult.
Moreover, Xiang Nan chose Xiangjiang University when filling out his application form after the college entrance examination next year.
Next year, after Xiangjiang's return, Xiangjiang University will enroll students in mainland China for the first time. Although the performance requirements are relatively demanding, with Xiang Nan's ability, it is not a problem to become the top scorer in the provincial college entrance examination.
In this way, you can be with Huang Chengcheng and avoid being separated in the two places.
Academic and love issues are not big problems, the next step is career.
Xiang Nan has watched the TV series and knows that the 301 hair regeneration essence factory where Li Yu's father, Li Guoxiu, works, has been experiencing poor performance in recent years and will have major layoffs next year.
Li Guoxiu and Du Yuemei both lost their jobs as a result. Li Guoxiu was forced to go to Wuyang to do business, Du Yuemei was also forced to become a hawker, and both families had problems in their lives.
Xiang Nan naturally doesn't want this to happen again, so making money is a must.
However, in 1996, although the business opportunities were unlimited, for a student under the age of eighteen, there were very few choices.
Fortunately, he has a traditional craft - writing books, so he doesn't have to worry about making money.
Don't be afraid of a thousand tricks, but be afraid of one new trick.
When the money comes, Li Guoxiu won't have to take risks in Wuyang. A man was dying of illness in a rented house, and no one took care of him.
Du Yuemei no longer has to work as a hawker in the sun.
…
Just do it, Xiang Nan then spread out the paper, picked up the pen and wrote four characters - "The Wandering Earth".
This work was published by Liu in 2000, and it is estimated that the prototype has not even been conceived yet.
In 1919, this film was adapted into a movie, with a global box office of US$700 million. It is one of the highest-grossing science fiction films in Chinese film history and is hailed as opening a new era of Chinese science fiction films.
With Xiang Nan's knowledge base, there is no problem in writing this book.
After all, he is an astrophysicist, and he knows far more about the universe than modern people do.
Xiang Nan wrote all night and wrote more than 6,000 words.
"The Wandering Earth" is a novella with a total of just over 20,000 words. In three days at most, this piece will be completed.
After getting up early, Xiang Nan took Yang Xi on a bicycle to buy a car.
"Have you got all the money?" he reminded with a smile.
"It's all in my pocket." Yang Xi patted her inner pocket and said, "Open the way with Mas~"
Xiang Nan smiled, then pedaled, driving Yang Xi straight to the city.
After a while, they found Situ Ertiao who was setting up a stall at the entrance of the park.
His parents are engaged in foreign trade business. The business is very large, with a monthly income of more than 50,000.
In 1996, when the monthly salary of ordinary workers was only 500, this was already inhumane.
Situ Ertiao was influenced by his parents and learned to do business at a young age. He sold the last orders from his parents' foreign trade.
Because it is cheap, business is booming, and he is a well-known second-hand dealer.
"Nijiao, let's go~" Yang Xi shouted.
Erjo quickly put away the stall and followed on his bicycle.
The three of them talked and laughed all the way to the small market.
At the edge of the market, I saw a girl with long hair, delicate features, graceful temperament and plump figure, leaning on a bicycle and reading a copy of Qiong Yao's "A Dream in the Blind".
Situ Ertiao kicked his feet a few times, rushed over quickly, stretched out his hand and snatched the book from the girl's hand.
"Hey, Hemei, are you still looking at Qiong Yao? How many love letters have you received this week?" He teased with a smile.
Yang Xiaohemei, as her name suggests, she is beautiful, has a good figure and temperament, so she is very popular among boys in school. Love letters come one after another, and her pursuers are like crucian carp crossing the river.
"Situ Ertiao, you are annoying~" Yang Xiao and Meijiao said angrily.
"Hemei, come on, I have money to buy a new car." Yang Xi greeted with a smile. During the period, she also bought steamed buns from the Hua Nai steamed bun stall in the small market for breakfast on the way.
Xiang Nan knew that Grandma Hua was Hua Biao’s grandma. Unfortunately, the old lady was in poor health, deaf and blind, and later suffered from Alzheimer's disease.
The causes of this type of disease are related to genetic inheritance, Xiang Nan has learned. However, even by around 2070, such diseases can still only alleviate symptoms but cannot be completely cured. Moreover, medical conditions are even more backward now.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel sorry for Hua Biao.
